EQ:
1. How do elements and compounds both
qualify as pure substances?
2. Explain how to determine types of
mixtures?
3. Compare and contrast pure substances
and mixtures.

many different elements make up one molecule of glucose?
a. 1
b. 3
c.12
d. 24
Explanation:
In salt water,
◦ salt is the solute, gets dissolved
◦ water is the solvent, dissolves
other substance
Q. Why do some substances dissolve and others do
not?
A. In a solute, each particle is attracted to each other
to form a grain of it. When the solute is placed in a
water, new attractive forces are present. If the
attractive forces between the water and the solute
are stronger than those holding the solute together,
then the solute will break down and get dissolved
in the water.
Because different amounts of
solute can be dissolved in a
solvent, we look at a solution’s
SOLUBILITY.
Definition: The maximum
amount of solute that can be
dissolved in a given amount of
solvent at a specific
temperature.
Usually expressed as the
number of grams of solute per
100mL of solvent.
Everychemical substance which dissolves
in water has a fixed solubility.
◦ If it does not dissolve, solubility = zero.
oUnsaturated:
Less than maximum amount of solute
dissolved in solvent
oSupersaturated:
More than maximum amount of
solute dissolved in solvent
oDilute:
to make less concentrated
1. Sedimentation: occurs 3. Filtration: separates parts of
naturally when solid a heterogeneous mixture by
substances that are heavier pouring it though a filter, the
than their solvent deposit at larger particles (residue) will be
the bottom of the mixture. held in the filter while the smaller
ones (filtrate) will pass through.
